Sphere Emitter (CPU and
GPU)

The Sphere emitter enables spawning of particles along the shapes
axial coordinate system (see diagram below). This allows you to create complex spherical
effects.

The following is an example of the Sphere emitter in the
Preview viewport.

The following are parameters for the Sphere emitter.

Sphere Emitter Parameters

Parameter

Description

Emitter Size

Sets the size of the sphere emitter in meters.

Valid values: 0+
(radius)

Default value: 5

Spawn Pos XYZ

XYZ values define the spawning position away from the emitter itself
in emitter space. You can set a Random value and
Strength over Emitter Lifetime curve.

Valid values: any

Default value: 0, 0,
0

Spawn Pos XYZ Random

For additional random layering, XYZ values define the range of random
spawning in both directions, away from the spawn position. You can set a
Random value and Strength over
Emitter Lifetime curve.

Valid values:
any

Default value: 0, 0, 0

Spawn Pos Increment XYZ

Spawns each subsequent particle at incremental positions along the
axis over the emitter size, based on a percentage value. For example, if
you set a value of 20, a particle spawns every 20% along the axis,
making 5 particles on the axis to equal 100%. You can set a
Random value and Strength over
Emitter Lifetime curve.

Valid values: any
(percentage)

Default value: 0

Spawn Pos Increment XYZ Random

Provides another layer of randomization for each particle to spawn at
percentages over the axis, independent of the Spawn Pos
Increment parameter. You can set a
Random value and Strength Over
Emitter Lifetime curve.

Valid values: any
(percentage)

Default value: 0

Velocity XYZ

XYZ values define the velocity applied to particles in world space.
The velocity direction also sets the axis around which velocity spread
occurs. You can set a Random value and
Strength over Emitter Lifetime curve.

Valid values: any

Default values: 0, 0,
0

Velocity XYZ Random

For additional random layering, XYZ values define the random velocity
applied to particles in world space. You can set a
Random value and Strength over
Emitter Lifetime curve.

Valid values:
any

Default value: 0, 0, 0
